One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, an indication to resume a media stream; determining, using a processor, a stoppage period associated with the media stream; identifying, based at least in part on the stoppage period, a resume point in the media stream; and resuming, based on the identifying, the media stream from the resume point. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method, comprising: receiving, at an information handling device, an indication to resume a media stream from a stoppage point; determining, using a processor, a stoppage period associated with the media stream; ascertaining, using available context data, an age group associated with a user; associating, based on the ascertaining, a distortion time with the age group; identifying, based at least in part on a combination of the stoppage period and the distortion time, a resume point in the media stream, wherein the identifying the resume point comprises: associating a length of time with the stoppage period; associating another length of time with the distortion time; combining the length of time with the another length of time to form a total time; and identifying the resume point by subtracting the total time from the stoppage point; and resuming, based on the identifying, the media stream from the resume point.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media stream is associated with at least one of: a video stream and an audio stream.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resume point is a predetermined time period before the stoppage point.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the identifying the resume point comprises accessing a data store comprising a correlation between the stoppage period and the predetermined time period.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the stoppage period is representative of an elapsed period of time since the stoppage point.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying comprises automatically identifying the point without receiving additional user input.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting a plurality of segments in the media stream.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of segments is associated with a unique scene.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the identifying comprises recognizing, based on the stoppage period, that the resume point corresponds to a point in a segment from the plurality of segments.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising adjusting the resume point to be associated with a beginning point of the segment.
11. An information handling device, comprising: a processor; a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to: receive an indication to resume a media stream from a stoppage point; determine a stoppage period associated with the media stream; ascertain, using available context data, an age group associated with a user; associate, based on the ascertaining, a distortion time with the age group; identify, based at least in part on a combination of the stoppage period and the distortion time, a resume point in the media stream, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to identify comprise instructions executable by the processor to: associate a length of time with the stoppage period; associate another length of time with the distortion time; combine the length of time with the another length of time to form a total time; and identify the resume point by subtracting the total time from the stoppage point; and resume, based on the identifying, the media stream from the resume point.
12. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the media stream is associated with at least one of: a video stream and an audio stream.
13. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the resume point is a predetermined time period before the stoppage point.
14. The information handling device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to identify the resume point comprise instructions executable by the processor to access a data store comprising a correlation between the stoppage period and the predetermined time period.
15. The information handling device of claim 14 , wherein the stoppage period is representative of an elapsed period of time since the stoppage point.
16. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to detect a plurality of segments in the media stream.
17. The information handling device of claim 16 , wherein each of the plurality of segments is associated with a unique scene.
18. The information handling device of claim 16 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to identify comprise instructions executable by the processor to recognize, based on the stoppage period, that the resume point corresponds to a point in a segment from the plurality of segments.
19. The information handling device of claim 18 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to adjust the resume point to be associated with a beginning point of the segment.
20. A product, comprising: a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising: code that receives an indication to resume a media stream from a stoppage point; code that determines a stoppage period associated with the media stream; code that ascertains, using available context data, an age group associated with a user; code that associates, based on the code that ascertains, a distortion time with the age group; code that identifies, based at least in part on a combination of the stoppage period and the distortion time, a resume point in the media stream, wherein the code that identifies comprises: code that associates a length of time with the stoppage period; code that associates another length of time with the distortion time; code that combines the length of time with the another length of time to form a total time; and code that identifies the resume point by subtracting the total time from the stoppage point; and code that resumes, based on the identifying, the media stream from the resume point.
